For the space junkies or just the curious minded, it is always interesting to know what is flying far above our heads.Unfortunately, city lights or cloudy skies make it almost impossible to spot objects of interest. The goal of this project was to build an interactive display piece that can track and show the movement of space objects in the vicinity. While there are many thousands of objects flying around the Earth, we have narrowed the objects of interest to active satellites in Low-Earth Orbit (LEO). In total, about 1200 satellites are being searched for. The information gathered about each satellite includes satellite name, unique ID, year launched, corresponding launch number of that year, longitude, latitude, and altitude.
